Life court cases funny

This hilarious tale of courtroom evidence too NSFW to read aloud has today’s funniest payoff

Poke Staff. Updated July 29th, 2024

Here’s a lovely Times diary anecdote that’s just gone viral again on Twitter for reasons which will become obvious.

It’s by journalist Patrick Kidd, a story recounted by the late, great John Mortimer, barrister and creator of Rumpole of the Bailey, of course, and it’s surely the funniest payoff you’ll read today.

And here it is again just in case that’s tricky to see in full.

A brilliant tale, fabulously told.
